Julius was born in London in the early 1960s.

His family left the capital when he was very young, walking west to eventually settle in North Cornwall.

The eldest of five boys, Julius went to various rural schools until the family settled for a few years in Launceston. There, Julius was taught by local poet Charles Causley, who encouraged his students to write creatively.

The family soon moved on to Bude, where Julius attended secondary school, until the family once again moved on, this time to Europe.

After touring France and Spain, the family settled near Foix in Ariege. Julius helped his artist parents renovate an old barn into the new family home and attended school sporadically before working in various different jobs including goatherd, woodsman and wood machinist.

When the family returned to the UK Julius joined the Royal Air Force, returning to forestry after his short military engagement. Living, once again, in North Cornwall, Julius married and raised a family until an injury sustained at work meant he had to look for another career.

Without formal qualifications, Julius returned to college, and was able to access University at Marjon in Plymouth and qualified as a Bachelor of Education.

Moving to the South East of England in order to find work, Julius currently works as a teacher.

As for as writing, Julius has won competitions for short stories and poetry. His first full novel 'Genus Lupus' was published in 2015, his second, a sequel to the first, 'Colomba Alba - White Dove' was published in 2020 during the Covid-19 crisis.
